Soulish
1 Thessalonians 5:23
Blessing and Admonition
23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Soulish
Soulish is what soulish does
trying to figure out the future.
Studying prophecies as such
only the flesh to nurture.
Wanting to know what is only God’s
wanting to be like Him.
Like Adam in the Garden
who lost self in the “might have been”.
Searching for the difference
and accepting superiority
in material deed and speeches
showing the carnal “me”.
Searching for understanding
to fill an intelligent mind.
Expanding in forever
for self, me and mine.
All then turn on feeling
joy and sorrow alike.
Oversensitive in emotion
like a heartbeat falls and spikes.
Carnality becomes a way of like
in bondage never free.
It is almost like Christ died in vain
on that rugged tree.
Jan Wienen
